Owner Comments:
Japan had a booth at the Columbian Expostion held in Chicago Illinois from 1892-1893. This is where Frank Lloyd Wright saw Japanese art and architecture for the first time. Mr Wright lived in Japan from 1917-1922 and had a strong influence on Japanese architecture. I'm sure Japanese culture had an equal influence on Mr. Wright's later works as well.
